When Fran Frieri scored her 200th career goal in an Illinois High School Association sectional final against Lenox Lincoln-Way (Ill.), it was the last gasp for the Porters in an 18-14 loss. And it was her final appearance on a scholastic field, since, as we mentioned yesterday, she did not get a berth in this weekend’s Under Armour All-America girls’ lacrosse game.
But the 200-goal effort is a landmark effort not only for girls’ high school lacrosse, but in the realm of youth athletics. Here’s a rundown of the known records for U.S. scholastic field invasion team sports:
| Total | Name | Sport | School | Year |
| 200 | Fran Frieri | Girls’ lacrosse | Lockport (Ill.) Township | 2022 |
| 130 | Kassi Ginther | Girls’ soccer | Summit Christian Academy (Mo.) | 2017 |
| 125 | Ryleigh Heck | Field hockey | Voorhees Eastern (N.J.) | 2021 |
| 110 | Krissy Wendell | Girls’ ice hockey | Park Center (Minn.) | 2000 |
| 109 | Jace Conley | Boys’ lacrosse | Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.) | 2018 |
| 94 | David Russell | Boys’ soccer | Weatherly (Pa.) | 2002 |
| 94 | Ron Rolston | Boys’ ice hockey | Flint Powers Catholic (Mich.) | 1984 |
Mind you, sports like ice hockey and soccer have had their elite school-age players weakened through pay-to-play clubs, but that in no way diminishes Frieri’s achievement.
